ekhunter Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Isn't this an early one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yes,the "oldstyle" pin indicates an early one.But.....I've got one of these with an L/13 stamp at the pin! And of course not to forget the "Schinkel" with this kind of pin.Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Nice EKs,John.But are you shure that your 1914 Meybauer has got his original pin? We know that Meybauer used mre than one core,but the pin looks replaced to me.At the moment I can show only two 1914 MB pinbacks..Nr1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knopfler Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Typical Meybauer,there's nothing wrong with it.The date and the swaz are also typical for Meybauer.MichaThanks Micha , the swaz in this Ek is piramidal , and close at some points with the rim?, and the date is because the 9 form??im trying to find outand thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Seeing all of these reminded me that I have a 1939 Meybauer, had forgot all about it. Micha has some really nice ones. I have to agree with him on the pin on J Temple Wests' 1914, it is either a replacement, or a ultra rare variant that I've never seen before.

J Temple-West Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Not being a collector of Imperial, I can?t put a time frame on the hinge and pin but I have seen this type of setup on one other Meybauer EK of the same period. The pin was certainly made for the hinge as it fits perfectly into the notch, which would mean that if there was a replacement the entire hinge was replaced..There are no signs of this as far as I can see. I?ll post some pix of the hardware and see what you think.Imo, The hinge and pin are original to the Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Note that the size of the dent caused by the head of the pin corresponds well. If the pin were replaced, I would expect to see a longer dent from the original pin head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Comparison of the dents made by broad-head pin and the EK in question.The signs are all positive for this being a variant setup and the craftsmanship is certainly a lot better than the norm. A private purchase piece, perhaps?So what do we think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
